The original footage is there...forward it to about the 4 minute mark then take it apart frame by frame.
you lot are looking at doctored nonsense....makes you wonder what the intent of the hoax was.
So, 20 internets to anyone finding the source of the hoax (and thereby finding the motivation for hoaxing)edit on 11-9-2011 by SaturnFX because: (no reason given)

Alright... I am going to explain to everyone about the question mark. The question mark is there because the last line of the lyrics IS a question.
O say does that star spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
Does everyone understand? It is not a statement. It is A QUESTION. That is how the song ends. O.K?
As for the validity of the video itself, I'm not sure if it real or a hoax. But I wouldn't put it past our government to pull something like this.
If anyone wants to see the lyrics for themselves you can see the link herewww.scoutsongs.com...
Just look at the last line of the first paragraph. That is the lyric in question.edit on 11-9-2011 by RainDog because: I see Lady Skadi already already beat me to it.

Yes, of course, because video editing software was so much better in the 60's.
The only way to settle this would be to get the actual footage as created, that broadcasters used back then.
Until then.... Who can be 100% sure of anything here?
Did I use the question mark appropriately?

It's a question... Do you understand?

It's a question being posed at the end of the song. In modern english it would be, "Is the flag still waving over the land of the free and the home of the brave?"
Yes, I understand that, but it makes me think that our country is insecure. Why do we need to ask that sorta question? Clearly there are some insecurities going on.

It has been debunked. This thread really reflects the comprehension level and common sense of the participants involved.
I get a sense that I'm surrounded by 14 year olds on one side and level headed adults on the other.

You are proficient in 1800's style poetry and composition?
Sometimes a question will actually end with a series of brief questions. When that happens, especially when the brief questions are more or less follow-up questions to the main question, each of the little questions can begin with a lowercase letter and end with a question mark.
Who is responsible for executing the plan? the coach? the coaching staff? the players?
One of two surviving copies of the 1812 broadside printing of the Defense of Fort McHenry, a poem that later became the national anthem of the United States. Date 1814
This is an easy one. The direction of the man's gaze is underlined by the diagonal banner which reads: "Carnal Knowledge: First Time on Tv"

Even though this has been proven a fake, subliminal messaging is real, especially in advertising.
There's a great site that discusses this at length and shows many examples:

Here's one example:

Who would have thought Jack Nicholson would behave that way with Ann-Margret? /sarcasm off
Hollywood does this too, in the movie The Exorcist, a demon face flashes for a split second several times in the movie, here's one example where the demon face appears at the 22 second mark:
If advertisers and Hollywood do this to us, it makes me shudder to think what the government can do.

Has not been proven as fake yet. If it has it would be in the debunked section. As I keep saying, the video everyone is posting around was a video from 1984, the video in question is from the 60's. What is so hard to understand that the video that is being questioned was from the 60's and not the 80's. I still stand ground on til someone shows an original video from the 60's that there was subliminal messaging.

In essence, is this what you are claiming:
The version with the subliminal message is the original? And the doctored one has had the messages removed?
